What are patent filing fees?

Most offices charge a combination of filing, search and examination fees: at the USPTO these total roughly $2,000 for large entities, $800 for small entities and $400 for micro entities as of 2026, while EPO fees to grant typically total around €5,000-€7,000. These are separate from attorney or platform drafting fees, which are usually the larger cost.
